[Tweeters] Samish Flats - today

Taa-weeeet!

   I went out to the Samish Flats this morning.  Most of the usual
suspects - several Bald Eagles (with both nests occupied), about 10
Harriers, lots of RWBs, lots more Starlings, a half dozen or more
GBH, a few Doves ... and, wait for it,

            about 2200 or so Snow Geese.

   Probable LOS for the Snows.  They were in the field on the North
of the T and then moved to the other side of the road and a few
fields closer to the West 90.
   I saw -several- small raptors ... Kestrel sized ... but they may
have been very small Harriers?  Nah, probably Kestrels.  Flying
low to the ground like a Harrier but also sitting on the wires
along the road.
   The tide was high.
